Reveries in the Field 

Evening sky. Cricket song.

Starlight the exhale.

We shower the deer with rose

petals from our garden.

Deer whose eyes have heaven at the ready.

A rose bloom of starlight the exhale.

The crickets garden

heaven like internal wounds.

Into the rose the deer.

The exhale.

I cradle what is sleeping what is

dying alone in the road under the bridge.

Black eyes staring memories far of roses.

Internal evening wounds the exhale.

What I cradle showers

blessings down my leg.

Garden of deer in the blood screen.

Starlight the exhale.

Rest now—

we’re off to the garden.

River of stars. Luminous artery.

Forest the inhale.

In the center

an absence of fawn.

Midnight cathedral. Underwater music.

A starlight rose rivers the inhale.

In the forest

a lark, a deer.

The shape of their mothering. Coiling.

The inhale.

I fed you the garden

& where have you gone?

Early summer fog. Particles in the dream.

Lark song forest carries the inhale.

The moss will memory

the mother with fawn.

Moss memory. Stumbling fawn.

Forest the inhale.

The deer undress the roses

in the moonlight.

Deer mouths full of violets.

Nocturne the exhale.

A constellation drifts

through the forest.

Honeysuckle nebula. Spectral cinema.

Ambulating dream of nocturne the exhale.

They make their way

to the moonlit lake.

The deer in ambulation, a violet nebula.

The exhale.

The moon lakes the

dream to the deer.

The violets, their mouths full of moths.

Mothmouths violet the exhale.

The deer transcribe the

dream back to the lake.

Lake mouth full of moon.

Nocturne the exhale.

The deer fall asleep

in the violets. 

In the middle of the field, a door.

Meadow the inhale.

Reverie the deer

into further spheres.

Starlight polyrhythm. Violet transfixation.

Vibrant portal of meadow the inhale.

Enter the summer of

hydrangeas eternal.

Quantum meadow. Polyvalence.

The inhale.

Without deer,

the meadow slows.

Out of the field the deer.

Starlight river violets the inhale.

The deer in modulation

through the anti-field.

Quantum flux. Hydrangeas ephemeral.

Meadow the inhale.

There was never a deer

who didn’t return.
